AS children, most of us were taught that in order to be successful and wealthy we need to go to school and get an education, and then get a good job and work hard. However, much has changed and in the real world, outside of academics, in order to achieve true financial freedom one must first possess financial literacy and be disciplined enough to use such knowledge to guide their decisions.

There are several persons who have gone the route of getting an education and working hard but still are not able to achieve financial freedom simply because they are financially unsophisticated; not meaning unintelligent, but simply not financially literate.
